HOWEVER Brett Sutter had a far better NHL look in Calgary than in Carolina. Does Carolina have a worse reputation for bringing along young players?
Hint They had 11 guys 26 and under on their roster .... The Flames had 3
of course out of their 11 guys Brandon Sutter, Skinner, Tlusty, Staal are playing for any team in the NHL..... They still gave 7 guys NHL looks ahead of the "elite" young player the Flames had.

wait are you using Mikkelson and Carson examples of the Flames not giving young players a chance? you do know they are only 23 and 25 right?

Pelech was a 4th year pro (and the same age as Mikkelson for the record) and Brodie a 1st year pro who was ineffective at best in his 3 games... we knew Brodie couldn't play defense, but then he only mustered 1 shot when averaging more than 3 minutes of PP time per game... and lets be honest his shot is why he made the team
